Breast Cancer Diagnosis with Machine Learning
Zhe Zhou · Highlights in Science Engineering and Technology · 2022
An early-stage breast cancer diagnosis usually results in a high survival rate within five years. This research seeks the feasibility of applying a specific machine learning algorithm, logistic regression, to a public dataset. The result is two models, reaching accuracies of 0.965 and 0.936. It confirms that the generality of applying machine learning algorithms is beneficial to medical diagnosis. Even though this is not the first research to exploit the application of machine learning in the medical field, it still provides some valuable insights for future research.
